Creepy Alternate Designs for The Crooked Man in THE CONJURING 2
James Wan’s The Conjuring 2 is such a great horror movie. It’s one of my favorite movies of the year and one of my favorite parts of it was The Crooked Man. The creepy character was inspired by the children’s nursery rhyme and it was nightmarishly terrifying.
The character was so unnatural in the way it looked in the film that a lot of people thought it was a CGI creation, but it wasn’t! That was live action and it was played by Mama actor Javier Botet. Wan confirmed the this in the following tweet he previously sent out.
I've seen a few critics refer to a #Conjuring2 character as CGI or stopmotion, but is in fact played by the incredible, & very real, @jbotet

We’ve also got a few pieces of creepy cool concept art of The Crooked Man character that were created by conceptual artist Jared Krichevsky (Krampus). The artist reveals that Wan initially envisioned The Crooked Man "with a large moon face,” which as you can see is kind of horrific.
